If you are an International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), or A-Levels student coming in to KIN, you may be eligible to receive first-year university credit for your IB/AP/A-Levels courses.
See what credits you will receive
If UBC Admissions has received your documentation and granted you first-year credits, you should be able to see this on your SSC under Grades & Records > Transfer Credits.

If you are missing credits and they are not yet posted on your SSC, please contact UBC Admissions.

If you are a student who is transferring from a different post-secondary institution, transferring from a different faculty at UBC, or are entering as a second-degree student, you are eligible to apply a maximum of 60 transfer credits towards the 120 total credits required for your BKIN degree (within the requirements of your stream choice). Keep in mind that you should expect to complete a minimum of 60 credits while registered as a UBC KIN student, and may require more depending on stream requirements.
